18524 Create MinifyHTMLMiddleware tonnzor nobody "We need a simple middleware that would compactify all the pages before sending to the client. It should be basically the same as `spaceless` templatetag, but for whole response.
It will reduce page size significantly -- that is important for any production site. Middleware makes sense because you don't have to care about manually using this tag in templates. It makes sense even when you use Gzip as after decompression it needs to be parsed by browser -- so size still matters.
Here is the code. Nothing special, we just use Django internals.
{{{#!python
from django.utils.encoding import DjangoUnicodeDecodeError
from django.utils.html import strip_spaces_between_tags as minify_html
class MinifyHTMLMiddleware(object):
def process_response(self, request, response):
if 'text/html' in response['Content-Type']:
try:
response.content = minify_html(response.content.strip())
except DjangoUnicodeDecodeError:
pass
return response
}}}
The idea was taken from `django-pipeline`. But since it makes sense and it only uses Django internals -- it would be great to have it in Django itself." New feature closed Core (Other) master Normal wontfix tonn81@… Unreviewed 1 0 0 0 0 0
